Day
1
Julia
Donnelly
eggs
my
house
my
first
night
back
in
Star
Lake,
and
that's
how
I
know
everyone
still
remembers
everything—how
I
destroyed
my
relationship
with
Patrick
the
night
everything
happened
with
his
brother,
Gabe.
How
I
wrecked
their
whole
family.
Now
I'm
serving
out
my
summer
like
a
jail
sentence:
Just
ninety-nine
days
till
I
can
leave
for
college
and
be
done.
Day
4
A
nasty
note
on
my
windshield
makes
it
clear
Julia
isn't
finished.
I'm
expecting
a
fight
when
someone
taps
me
on
the
shoulder,
but
it's
just
Gabe,
home
from
college
and
actually
happy
to
see
me.
"For
what
it's
worth,
Molly
Barlow,"
he
says,
"I'm
really
glad
you're
back."
Day
12
Gabe
got
me
to
come
to
this
party,
and
I'm
actually
having
fun.
I
think
he's
about
to
kiss
me—and
that's
when
I
see
Patrick.
My
Patrick,
who's
supposed
to
be
clear
across
the
country.
My
Patrick,
who's
never
going
to
forgive
me.
Eighty-seven
days
of
summer
to
go,
and
history
is
repeating
itself.
The
last
thing
I
want
is
to
come
between
the
Donnelly
brothers
again
.
.
.
but
the
truth
is,
the
Donnellys
stole
my
heart
a
long
time
ago.
